Boarding points and facilities on board

What to do at Rottnest Island?
The best way to explore Rottnest Island is by bike -- go at your own pace as there's lots to visit. Kingstown Barracks, Oliver Hill Battery, and the Henrietta Rocks shipwreck locations should be on your itinerary, and keep an eye out for quokkas and other wildlife. Be sure to discover the many different bays and beaches.
